Tomorrow night (9/17/2025 at 5pm EDT), Carlos Dordelly will be joining the stream to talk about some practical workflows and tips in #Solaris. He'll especially focus on things for solo artists and small teams. See you there with your questions!

Tonight (9/10/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to connect a #Copernicus Flow sim to a #Vellum sim. We'll use the velocity from one to drive the other. Hope to see you there!

Tonight (9/3/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to get something working with the new Shot Builder tools. There won't be anything grand or expansive shown off, but we'll do our best to do something interesting with them.

Houdini 21 is released! Tonight (8/27/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to open it up and play around with some of the new features. There are lots of features that weren't covered in the Keynote, and we'll try some of those. Bring your questions!
Tomorrow (8/20/2025 at 4pm EDT), we're going to have Paul Esteves as a guest on the stream. We'll tackle a few questions he's been asked online, and then we might look at rendering his Copernicus effect (https://www.instagram.com/p/DM-k-8RqIab/) in Karma.
This week (8/13/2025 at 4pm EDT) we'll have Danny Laursen on the stream to talk about his awesome flower tools. We'll look at the logic behind the HDAs, and then go into the tool's functions. Hope to see you there!
Estoy divirtiéndome mucho, tomando algunas ideas probadas, y llevandolas hacia las nuevas tecnologías... pero sobretodo explorando los límites del "tiempo real" que me ofrece unreal engine... procastinación diran algunos... 😂

Tonight (8/06/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to chat about the H21 Sneak Peak video that was released on Monday. I'm sure you've seen and heard about it by now, but if you want some more analysis of the video come join us!
Tonight (7/30/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to make an animation like this art from Apoxia: https://www.instagram.com/apoxia.art/reel/CDGwPSvi5za/ We'll see how we go about creating it, but some non-simulation options might happen. We'll see!
Tonight (7/23/2025 at 6pm EDT) I'm going to take a shot at making a dust explosion inspired by this reference: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-FGCvnJwt6/ Never sure what we'll come up with, but join us for the process!
Tonight (7/16/2025 at 6pm EDT) I'm going to try to make some abstract cloth inspired by Ariel Ting Wei Lu. Check out her amazing website here: https://ariellu.com/google-deepmind_01. Not sure how it will turn out, but it should be fun regardless!
Tonight (7/2/25), I'm a little unsure about what we should do. It will be a bit of a viewers choice, and if nobody has a live suggestion I'm going to play with some stuff in Vellum. Sorry for the indecision, but it should be fun either way.

Also, if you missed Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleboyTom) and I chat about APEX last week, you can find the recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/Q_C_WWM_66U?si=lgITx66CSexR8TGS&t=396
We talk about how APEX works, and some of the tech that came before it's development.
Tonight (6/11/2025 at 6pm EDT), we're going to create something inspired by this ad from @TactycStudio: https://youtu.be/ULgOsnNxexI?si=onakgsJkgoZW00Gf&t=6
There's a cool melting effect that we'll try to use Vellum Grains and MPM on. Hope to see you then!
Tomorrow night (6/4 at 6pm EDT) we're going to be joined by Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleBoyTom). He's going to walk through the basics of using APEX outside of the current rigging/animation tools. This should be a bit of a continuation of his awesome talk at FMX. So if you're struggling with understanding APEX, or have questions please join us. See you then!
Tonight (4/16/2025 at 6pm EDT), we're going to look at how to make an MPM sim inspired by this work from Jan Elsner: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-m-LiNNN1e/?igsh=bDR0bzlubHk0NTQ0
It's a really great piece, and since he mentioned using MPM for the project we'll do the same. Hope you join us!
